Inspired by Robert Macfarlane's Lost Words project, our Open Day this Sunday 8th June 12pm to 4pm celebrates the words of nature with activities, talks and readings that describe wild green landscapes like Buckthorne.

We also have music from the Nunhead Folk Circle and Lily Lyons  along with the 3rd Crofton Park Scouts, Magic Eyes Face Painting and the Friends of Crofton Park Community Library who are supporting us with this exciting Open Day.

It kicks off at 12pm and finishes at 4pm. Entry is free.
